Research Content
(1) In the master's program in Precision Engineering at the University of Tokyo, Su developed a new hybrid energy harvesting method that combines friction electrical energy and piezoelectric energy based on low-frequency (less than 5 Hz, e.g., ambient vibration) stochastic resonance. She designed a vibration configuration that, at the resonance of regular and noisy vibrations, can simultaneously harvest mechanical energy generated by frictional impact and bending and convert it into electrical energy to power micro-sensors in IoT[1].
(2) In the PhD program in Precision Engineering at the University of Tokyo, Su studied a recyclable and waste-free wearable power source based on a mixture of carbon nanotubes and polymers, with output power to the microwatt level for miniature sensors. She explored various materials and investigated their friction power generation properties and successfully synthesized carbon nanotubes with silk extracts using high-pressure electrospinning and electrospraying techniques into a novel composite material with good electrical conductivity, comfort, wearable safety, and power generation properties[2-4].
